How The Art Market Works

This guide explains how the art market works. We outline the two sides of the market (primary and secondary) and define the role of the main protagonists—galleries, dealers, art consultants and auction houses. We give tips on how to buy at auction and explain the complex process of determining artwork pricing, both for the primary and secondary market.

The Art of Nyurapayia Nampitjinpa (Mrs Bennett)

A member of the last generation of nomadic desert dwellers who lived off and with the land, Nyurapayia Nampitjinpa spoke little English and sang the stories of her Dreaming as she painted. A powerful woman ngangkari, or healer, after her marriage to John Bennett she demanded henceforth to be referred to as ‘Mrs Bennett’ and, when it came to her status as an artist, she unhesitatingly declared herself ‘No. 1’.

This copiously illustrated volume is distinguished by the photographic sequences of the various stages of Mrs Bennett painting selected works. These photographs reveal the unusual processes of under and over-painting which distinguish her personal style.

Tim Storrier Moments

Edmund Capon, former Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, has observed that Tim Storrier's 'visions and sensibilities are acute responses to his place, to the flat landscape of Australia in which the horizon is low and the sky is vast.' But Storrier's treatment of the landscape is quite unique—often animated by a blazing fire-line or used as a stage-set for capturing memories and intimations of human mortality. This 332 page, large-format volume reproduces Storrier's paintings, drawings, photographs, and constructions on a huge scale.

Matthew Quick Based on a True Story

This full-colour, hardback monologue was released in conjunction with the Matthew Quick exhibition Based on a True Story at Nanda\Hobbs Contemporary in November 2015.

'Matthew Quick's talent extends beyond his exquisite rendering of form in paint. One of the hsarpest intellects in Australian art, Quick's inquiring mind, his ability to reconstruct an dmorph imagery to fit his ideological take, and the leavening of his wit makes him a formidable iconoclast.' Ralph Hobbs
